Marco Paolini is a Production Engineer with 14 years of experience building real-time industrial automation and web systems, currently operating at Meta from Udine, Italy. He blends low-level C and IEC 1131-3 PLC programming for CNC and automation (RTAI Linux, EMC2, Siemens Step7) with scalable Python/Django web backends, REST API design, and distributed service orchestration on Ubuntu using SaltStack. Comfortable managing medium-sized codebases and small teams with Agile tooling (SCRUM, JIRA, git), he also contributes to open-source projects—most notably improving backend robustness and test automation in the widely used aiohttp async HTTP framework. Known for designing resilient disconnected and partially connected systems, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a Free Software ethos and hands-on testing discipline.
